SPE4A625Q0274_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, NOV 2024) submitted by DLA Aviation for the acquisition of generators and tachometers under solicitation SPE4A6-25-Q-0274.

The acquisition covers 58 units of generators and tachometers (NSN: 6680-00-920-9213; PN: TG255-003 & 2CM9ABY7) on a firm fixed-price basis with no options included. The estimated total acquisition value is redacted in the document. The statutory authority for limiting competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), allowing acquisition from only one or limited number of sources. The justification cites AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC R (Government does not own necessary data or rights to data needed to purchase from another source; not economical to procure elsewhere). Two sources are identified with capability to furnish the required supplies: Aircraft Appliances and Equipment (CAGE 35076) and Ametek, Inc. (CAGE 97424). Both are described as commercial off-the-shelf items. A sources sought notice/RFI was posted to Contract Opportunities on 1/03/2025, resulting in no responses. A market survey was conducted via SAM.gov, and the subject line was synopsized; no vendors responded with intent to provide the item. The Contracting Officer certified the justification on 2/27/2025, with approval authority not exceeding $750,000. Actions to overcome barriers to competition include posting a combined synopsis via SAM.gov and preparing a solicitation with Procurement Notes M06/L04 to allow sources to submit source approval packages for DLA Aviation's consideration.
